Talk:Last man standing achievement/Candidates

On updates I will only add expeditions to occurred after the end date of the list before.--Eupeodes (talk) 15:26, 15 February 2016 (EST)

Coordinates at 2014-12-07 47 -122 were not reached, and 2017-02-07 47 -122 contained two geohashers - one of them coincidentally known as User:Stand. --Thomcat (talk) 13:25, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

In the old part of the list the outcome of the attempt indeed hasn't been taken in account, in the newer part I do only list those hashes where only 1 report exists for the day and the coordinates for that report have been reached. And it would of course be nice to also eliminate the reports where more than one person has been to, however at the moment I don't know a reliable way to count the persons since not all hashers use the same format for the list. Some use bullet points, some not, some link to profiles, some not. --Eupeodes (talk) 20:34, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Of course :) Thanks for giving it a shot. --Thomcat (talk) 13:52, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

What I do in creating the interactive users maps as in Thomcat's interactive map,He does have several "Last Man Standing" Achievements in his home graticle, I look at each days activity, then count the number of users links on the days activity page. Now most people put a link to their user page when listing their name, some don't. I also keep a database of users expeditions and do a query search on that date to see if anyone else has geohashed on that date listed on their user page. If it is on their user page, I look for the words "Reached" or "Not reached", anything else is "Not attempted". If in all of that, I still have only one geohasher and that geohasher only has the conditions of "Reached" I assign the "Last Man Standing" achievement. I do this every time I update the users maps, on the first and 15th of every month and verify every award each time. --NWoodruff (talk) 15:45, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
